A well known and successful University in the centre of Cardiff, the University of Wales Institute, Cardiff (UWIC) had already implemented a number of Intranet and Portal solutions using SharePoint. When it came time to migrate their website from Microsoft Content Management Server 2002 (MS-CMS 2002) to SharePoint 2007, the experience and reputation of Draig Technology in this area made us the obvious choice for UWIC to turn to as an implementation partner.
Using our proven CMS templates eliminated any technology and technical risk and also enabled a quick delivery of the functional CMS platform so that the UWIC web team and ourselves could focus on getting the design and content right. Our ‘safe pair of hands’ project management assured other risks were handled and removed efficiently, ensuring yet another project delivered on time and on budget.
In addition to the highly capable CMS capabilities of the SharePoint 2007 platform, our enhancements add full multilingual content management and ‘AA’ accessibility amongst a host of other compelling features. These were both critical to UWIC with their focus on international recruitment and commitment standards compliance.
With a state of the art and enterprise level CMS implemented with minimal fuss and such a pain-free implementation that nobody lost any sleep, UWIC are now able to seamlessly integrate their website with internal information management and improve their functional web offerings such as the planned online course directory built upon our proVision online information directory.
